Salmi 78:3 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 78:3

Which we have heard and known
The change of number from "I" to "we" have made some think that the disciples of Christ are here introduced speaking; but there is no need to suppose that, since our Lord uses the same form of speech, ( John 3:11 ) ,

and our fathers have told us;
this may not only regard the Jewish ancestors, from whom our Lord descended according to the flesh, and so refer to the following account of the wonderful things done for the people of Israel; but also the divine Father of Christ, from whom, as his only begotten Son that lay in his bosom, and as Mediator, and the Angel of the great council, he heard and became acquainted with the secrets and mysteries of grace, and with his Father's mind and will; all which he declared and made known to his apostles, and in so doing used them as his friends, ( John 1:18 ) ( 15:15 ) and so the apostles of Christ, what they had from him their everlasting Father, and who had used to call them his children, even what they had seen, and heard, and learned, they made known to others, ( Acts 4:20 ) .

Salmi 78:3 In-Context

1 Maschil di Asaf. ASCOLTA, o popol mio, la mia dottrina; Porgete gli orecchi alle parole della mia bocca.

2 Io aprirò la mia bocca in sentenza; Io sgorgherò detti notevoli di cose antiche;

3 Le quali noi abbiamo udite, e sappiamo, E le quali i nostri padri ci han raccontate.

4 Noi non le celeremo a’ lor figliuoli, alla generazione a venire; Noi racconteremo le lodi del Signore, E la sua forza, e le sue maraviglie ch’egli ha fatte.

5 Egli ha fermata la testimonianza in Giacobbe, Ed ha posta la Legge in Israele; Le quali egli comandò a’ nostri padri di fare assapere a’ lor figliuoli;
